The Council of Albanian Ambassadors (CAA) has been following with great interest and concern the prolonged negotiations between Serbia and Kosova and would like to see a final agreement as soon as possible.
CAA stands against pressuring Kosova to agree to the formation of Serb-majority municipalities and believes such a pressure undermines Kosovo’s sovereignty and emboldens Serbia’s non-recognition stance.
Imposed solutions could destabilize the region.
CAA emphasizes that the EU’s irreplaceable contribution and role should focus on facilitating a fair dialogue that respects Kosovo’s independence.
The Council of Albanian Ambassadors appeals the EU that, for the Kosova-Serbia dialogue, to appoint negotiators from the rank of diplomats/politicians who are welcomed and accepted by both countries, in order to increase the level of credibility among all parties.
CAA urges as well that Serbia’s behaviors as Russian proxy, and the rhetoric of the Republika Srpska leader Dodik on its separation from BiH must be stopped at all cost before it is too late. We consider this as a recipe for war, as an approach that goes in the same line/logic with the Russian aggression against Ukraine.
